Speaking & Presenting

Your audience has already heard the hype. Give them someone who tells the truth.

I deliver talks and workshops on AI and Claude that are specific, honest, and built on systems I have actually shipped. Your room leaves knowing what is real, what is noise, and what to do Monday morning.

Signature talks

Talks built for rooms that are done being impressed.

The Adoption Gap

Why your AI pilot stalled and what actually gets it moving.

  • The real reason rollouts stall, and it is not the technology.
  • What separates the teams that adopt AI from the ones that abandon it.
  • The unglamorous moves that get a stalled rollout unstuck.

What's Real and What's Hype

A practitioner's field guide to AI right now.

  • How to tell a genuine capability from a demo that will never ship.
  • Where AI is quietly already better than your current process.
  • The claims to ignore so you stop wasting budget on them.

AI Without the Magical Thinking

Where it earns its keep and where it quietly costs you.

  • The tasks where AI pays for itself fast.
  • The hidden risks leaders keep missing.
  • How to deploy it without betting the business on it.

Prompting Is a Skill, Not a Trick

Getting reliable work out of AI, live.

  • Why most people get inconsistent results.
  • The patterns that make output dependable.
  • A working session your audience can apply the same day.

Every talk is tailored to your audience and your event. I do not give the same speech twice.

For your program

Lindsay Gonzales is the founder of Automate AI Consulting and an AI implementation specialist who trains teams to use Claude and AI on real work, not in theory. After 25 years in business, including nearly seven in corporate finance and marketing, she now builds production AI systems for organizations and teaches the methods behind them to leaders, conferences, and working teams. Her approach is deliberately anti-hype: tell people what is real, show them what works, and give them something they can use the next day.
